Nut

Coming to you live from National Nut Day, it's the Character Issues Podcast.

And now here's your Character Issues host, Brian Edwards.

Getting ready to nut all over the internet, it's the Character Issues Podcast episode, issue, whatever we call it, 101.

It's literally just a site that sells snacks.

I don't even get nuts from them.

I just get chocolate-covered pretzels, and sometimes they have these mini graham crackers that are covered in chocolate that I really, really like, and they sent me an email this morning, and apparently it's National Nut Day, so...

I needed to share that with everyone.

Of course it is.

And I conditioned it cold.

And, um, yeah, it was just the coffee and the alcohol combo just made like for a pretty accurate, unpleasant flavor.

Um, but generally we'll, you know, we'll add nuts, you know, peanuts or hazelnuts or coconut.

Um, I mean, there's, there's so many interesting ingredients and tools at our disposal at this point.

It's kind of endless.

You know, how do I deconstruct the idea of a macaroon or deconstruct the idea of... you know a pecan pie or something like that you know because i don't i don't personally have a ton of interest in putting whole pies into it i want to deconstruct the idea of the ingredients used to make that flavor and recreate that into a beer you know what i mean

yeah yeah so how do you do that

Um, just a whole ingredients, you know, if it's caramel, if it's, if it's, um, nuts, you know, um, like, you know, we do peanut butter beers, um, relatively often.

A woman would place a cabbage over a door, and the first man that it falls on is supposedly the man that she's meant to marry.

But one tradition that I find particularly interesting is called the Test of the Nuts.

You throw a handful of hazelnuts onto the fire, and each nut has to represent a prospective lover.

How they react to the fire will tell you if the love will last forever.

I like how you led in with that.

Nuts.

We've got, yeah.

We got a few stories that we got to make sure you hear about, folks.

One of the things was, even though I was carrying all of that weight and all of the rest of it around with me, but one of the things was, Like up here, I really believe the way we think and faith plays a big role in the component, but there are little things that you can add physically into the routine as well.

And I've seen this play out, in fact, with things that I've learned through my time with Maha Missy and Charity and the team.

But Nuts, I hadn't heard this yet, but let's walk through this.

What's the story on Nuts?
